A visit to see the musical "She Loves Me", performed by the
Loughton Operatic Society and starring the group's very own Richard! Tickets
are still available, so please
let Richard know
as soon as possible!

Meeting up after the musical at the Hollybush (prob between 4:30 and
5:00), and then heading to the Bengal Spice in the evening. If you're
not going to the performance but are thinking of coming along to the
pub/meal
please let us know
for booking.

Monthly central London meet for chat and speculation about
Doctor Who, Torchwood and practically anything else!

Sunday 19th November: Locations "Workshop"

An exploration of some Doctor Who locations that haven't been on the general
"tours" in recent years, mainly in West London in the Acton/Wembley/Ealing
area. Plenty of walking for the energetic(!). For more details
contact Chuck.

Wednesday 22nd November: KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, CHANCERY LANE

Thursday 23rd November: ANNIVERSARY MEAL

In celebration of another year under the Doctor's belt with some good
food under our own! Current plan is to go to the Mongolian Barbecue at
Covent Garden for the evening. Please let us know if you are interested
for booking.

The last of the year and the one we traditionally win! At the usual
place, the Rose and Crown on Hoe Street in Walthamstow from 8:00pm.
Note: this may be cancelled so if you do intend to come along please
let us know!

Current plan is this: A house party to include - Who viewings, Festive
food and drink, Party games, Goody bags, Prize Draw - with Who goodies!
Plus the annual Golden KOC Awards - where the stars of Who and Fandom
are awarded appropriately for their talents!
This is likely to cost about £10 per person to put on but is probably
cheaper than a day down the pub. A cheaper party could be arranged
but would need to ditch some of the above! Tell me your views.
Please let me know if you think this is a good idea and I'll get
organising if there's enough interest. Thanks, Jon.

Sat 17th December - Princess Louise / Christmas Meal

Usual meetup at the Lou for afternoon drinkies; the majority vote has come

Pantomine with John Barrowman and Richard Wilson, New Wimbledon Theatre

Current thought is for the Saturday 10th December matinee at 2:00pm,
hopefully tickets are still available. If I could know this week then I can
try and book it this weekend.

Prices are: 11.00 (Upper Circle), 16.00 (Upper Circle or Orchestra Stalls),
19.00 (Dress Circle/Orchestra Stalls), and 21.00 (Dress Circle/Orchestra
Stalls). The seating plan for these can be seen at
http://www.theambassadors.com/newwimbledon/sp_p2043_vsp.html

Please let me know if you're interested and which
prices you are comfortable with - would the 21.00 ones in the stalls be okay
in general?

Update: According to the box office
the matinee on the 10th is rapidly being sold out, they can
currently do us in the stalls row S (tickets @ 19.00) so I guess we need to
be quick to get this booked up!
I would propose to call them tomorrow afternoon with a final booking so
could I have confirmations by lunchtime?
Christmas Meal

This is to take place at a restaurant on Shad Thames, Tower Bridge
(Resurrection), and I'll do a recce soon to see which place looks nice to go
to. We could do this on either Friday 16th in the evening, or maybe Saturday
17th would be better to follow on from our usual Princess Louise meeting (I
think I'm tending towards the latter at the moment). If you could let me
know if you can make either of the dates that would be great!
